Its a shame they aren't electrifying through to Ashton and Stalybridge. the current 'stopper' goes there after arriving at Manchester Victoria and this would result in a change of trains for travellers going that way.
I also note from that document....

Completion of the second phase between Newton-le-Willows and Liverpool will provide a fully electrified route between Liverpool and Manchester. Like the Thames Valley suburban services on the Great Western Main Line, regional services will be operated from 2013 by four-carriage electric trains transferred from the cross-London Thameslink route. These trains will be completely modernised before they are transferred, including the installation of air conditioning.
